WEST CONCORD.

Oct. 11.-Ralph Bingham the boy
orator, gave an entertainment in the
town hall last Thursday evening,
which was greatly enjoyed by some
and severely criticised by others.
Tastes differ here as elsewhere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Burroughs have
moved to Charleston to live for the
present, with the son of Mrs. Bur
roughs, Chas. Chase. These aged peo-
pie will be greatly missed in our COM
munity having resided here so long
and many kind wishes for their hap,
piness and comfort will follow them to
their new home.
Mr.. Gilfillin's family have moved
into the Burroughs house. Their
daughter May who has been very sick
is now convalescent, and it is to be
hoped she will soon be able to be
moved to their new residence.
The burning of lazen's mill last
evening presented wondrously beau
tifuI appearance, particularly from
our hills,a AS it made brilliant the heavy
clouds of the unusually dark night,
which reflected clear light from ten
to twelve miles around. There Was
apparently another fire at the same
time south east of us, in the direction
of Upper Waterford.
John Nichols horsemanship failed
him for perhaps the first time last
week, when he narrowly escaped with
his life. lie was at work with his span
of horses when they becoming fright
ened ran some distance, became en-
tangled in the harness and fell. Mr.
Nichols was thrown from the tongue
of the cart and the wheel passing over
his left arm below the elbow produced
a bad confusion, his right arm was
also bruised, but fortunately no bones
were broken. The horses were unin-
jured, and the amount of repairs to
the team will cost, we understand,
about fifty cents, but the cost of re-
pairing John remains problematical,
the value of the individual not being
reported.

Ii will be remembered that two
weeks ago Mr.. George Gonya, wife and
son of Leominster, Mass, were here on
a visit to his father, brothers and sis.
ter. On his return home he was met
by number of his employees and by
them presented with handsome gold
watch and chain with charm attach
ed. We take the following account OF
the presentation from the Leominster
Enterprise:
"Mr. &. A. Gonya returned from z
few days vacation on Oct 1, on the l
p. III. train, then he proceeded to his
home for dinner. Early in the after.
noon he went 10 his factory to again
resume business, and as soon as he en-.
tered much to his surprise all the fair
employees rushed to one spacious
room like panic stricken sheep pur-
sued by ferocious dog. Mr.. Gonya
thought the building was on fire, or
that someone was badly injured from
an accident, and inquired if there was
any trouble. lie was told that there
was serious trouble and he rushed
through the crowd, but was soon
caught and perched upon a box, when
he was confronted by full brigade OF
garment stitehers whose beaming eyes
were fixed upon him, Tue mystery
was soon solved, when Mr.. l.. f.
Marble in n few we'll chosen words
presented Mr.. Gonya with beautiful
gold watch, handsomely engraved
On the inside of the CASE was inscribed
these words:-Presented to G.. A.
Gonya by the employees of the Wa.
chusett Shirt Go. Mr.. Gonya was
very much affected and thanked the
donors with words which told plainly
how he priced the gift. Nearly every
one contributed something toward
! the present. Such testimonies show
plainly the feeling between the mana
ger and the employees"

PAID IN GOLD COIN.

In December, 1886, |. S. johnson &

Mass, offered eight premiums payable
in gold coin which they say created a
great interest among people who kept
hens, so much SO, in fact, that John
son q Co. authorize us to say that they
shall offer Nov. 1st, 1887, another list
of premiums for the best results from
the use Of Sheridan's Powder TO Make
Hens Lay. Of course all who compete
cannot get one of the premiums, but
some of the last years reports which
johnson & Co. send us show that the
parties ought to be well satisfied if
they had not received any other bene-
fit than the increase of eggs they got
while making the trial. For example
the first premium was

Twenty-Five Dollars

taken by G. A. French, Washington,
N. H., who fed 80 hens with the Sheri-
dams Powder for eight weeks. The
first week he only got ten eggs; the
third week the hens laid POI eggs, and
the eight week POS eggs. During the
eight weeks trial he got 1893 eggs
which, at the price of eggs in Boston
market in mid-winter would have
yielded SAG so, or Sl.55 for each hen in
eighth weeks time. Considering the
small expense of keeping hen no
animal on farm will pay like that.
The SI2.0O Premium
went to Mrs. Evelyn C.Meserve, Centre
Lowell, Me. She commenced to feed
Sheridan's Powder Jan. 4th, 1887. For
the first trial week her hens did not
